Reduction of hunger and cravings due to reduced fluctuations of your blood sugar levels

Reduced breakdown of starch into simple sugars during digestion

Our modern diet is rich in sugar and highly processed carbohydrates.

This causes the blood sugar levels to rise sharply after a meal, and the body needs to release large amounts of insulin to bring blood sugar levels back to normal and healthy levels. Insulin is a so-called storage hormone that transports sugar from the blood stream into the cells of the body where it is either burned to produce energy or stored in form of glycogen or fat as an energy reserve.

These frequent strong increases in blood sugar levels, followed by a large insulin release that rapidly reduces blood sugar levels, can result in a whole series of problems that can lead to increased amounts of body fat and an impairment of health and well-being. Hunger und cravings due to rapidly dropping blood sugar levels after this insulin release are an immediate noticeable consequence of strong fluctuations of your blood sugar levels. This can promote an increased food intake and weight and body fat gains.

But much more serious is the fact that chronically elevated insulin levels will eventually lead to a so-called insulin resistance. This means that the cells of your body are getting resistant to the signals of Insulin and your body has to produce more and more insulin, to lower your blood sugar to a healthy level. More insulin leads to an increased insulin resistance and so on… This vicious circle often ends with a type 2 diabetes, because the pancreas is no longer able to produce sufficient amounts of insulin. Type 2 diabetes is a disease that reached epidemic proportions in the western world.

But it does not have to end this way. In combination with a healthy diet, the ingredients of GN Laboratories Blood Sugar Support can help you to optimize your blood sugar control. These ingredients will improve the insulin sensitivity of the cells of your body. This will reduce the amount of insulin that has to be released after meals and effectively prevent the development of an insulin resistance.

GN Laboratories Blood Sugar Support will stabilize your blood sugar levels and prevent severe fluctuations in blood sugar levels. As a result hunger and cravings caused by low blood sugar levels will be prevented and you will have more stable energy levels throughout the day.

As an added bonus, GN Laboratories Blood Sugar Support can support fat loss and muscle growth and prevent the development stubborn body fat by improving nutrient partitioning.

We should probably mention that scientific studies have shown that there is a direct connection between blood sugar levels and life expectancy. The lower the blood sugar levels are the higher will the life expectancy be. This goes so far that the live expectancy of a 70 year old man can be more reliably predicted by his blood sugar levels than by his age.

Why are chronically elevated blood sugar levels so dangerous?

Besides the already mentioned negative effects on insulin sensitivity and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, chronically elevated blood sugar levels may have direct adverse effects on different types of tissues and organs of your body. A process known as glycation is responsible for this. During this process, sugar chemically binds with different proteins in the body without the involvement of enzymes. This destroys these proteins and can lead to permanent damage of vital tissues of your body. Even if the body can repair this damage to a certain extent, these abilities are not sufficient to reduce the damage, when your blood sugar levels are permanently elevated.

This glycation is responsible for a whole range of diabetic conditions, including severe kidney damage that can make dialysis or kidney transplantations necessary, peripheral nervous system damage known as polyneuropathy, occlusive diseases of the leg arteries that can lead to amputation and death, and blindness due to degenerative changes in the retina. Other possible secondary diseases include the development of atherosclerosis, which may result in a reduced blood flow to the brain, as well as an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Why can GN Laboratories Blood Sugar Support have a positive impact on fat loss and muscle growth?

GN Laboratories Blood Sugar Support is not only able to promote your health and to reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but can also reduce an accumulation of body fat in your abdomen and support fat loss. In addition to this, GN Laboratories Blood Sugar Support can also promote muscle growth. Even if this may sound too good to be true, GN Laboratories Blood Sugar Support will do just that.

Let's start with your body fat. If your insulin sensitivity is reduced due to permanently high blood sugar and insulin levels, your body needs to release more and more insulin to lower your blood sugar to healthy levels. While your muscle cells will absorb only a small amount of carbohydrates due to an insulin resistance, the fat cells in your abdomen will continue to react very well to the signals of insulin. This means that most of the glucose circulating in your blood stream will be stored in your fat cells. At the same time, the chronically elevated insulin levels will “tell” your fat cells that there is a lot of energy circulating in your body in form of sugar. As a result of this your fat cells will stop any release of fatty acids and that will effectively prevent any fat loss.

Since GN Laboratories Blood Sugar Support will improve your insulin sensitivity and thereby lower your insulin levels, it will reduce the build-up of body fat, while your fat cells will release more fatty acids as a source of energy for your body. This will promote a loss of stubborn body fat. As an added bonus, GN Laboratories Blood Sugar Support promotes more stable blood sugar levels and this will effectively reduces the risk of overeating because of hunger and cravings.

An increased insulin sensitivity also means that your muscle cells are more sensitive to insulin and that more of the nutrients circulating in your blood will be transported into your muscle cells while less nutrients are transported into your cells. These nutrients not only include carbohydrates, but also amino acids, which serve as building blocks for bigger muscles. This will promote the post-workout recovery of your muscles, improve your exercise performance and increase your muscle protein synthesis for faster gains of fat free muscle mass. This preferential uptake of nutrients into your muscle cells is also referred to as optimized nutrient partitioning. An optimized nutrient partitioning this is one of the mechanisms by which many anabolic steroids exert their muscle building and fat-reducing effects.

What are the ingredients of GN Laboratories Blood Sugar Support?

GN Laboratories Blood Sugar Support contains a complex matrix of effective natural ingredients that have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and control your blood sugar levels. These ingredients work synergistically and complement each other perfectly. In addition, our innovative ingredient matrix contains important vitamins and trace elements that are essential for a healthy carbohydrate metabolism and the regulation of your blood sugar eves. This combination of ingredients actively improves your insulin sensitivity and your blood sugar control, while eliminating all factors that can affect insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.

Cinnamon extract 10:1

According to legend, the blood sugar reducing effects of cinnamon were discovered by chance when scientists examined the effects of different foods on blood sugar levels. Among these foods supposedly was an apple cake with a lot of cinnamon in it, which increased the blood sugar levels much less than expected from the ingredients.

Follow-up studies with cinnamon in capsule form were able to demonstrate that cinnamon can actually lower blood sugar levels. These effects of cinnamon are limited to reducing blood sugar levels after a meal. Cinnamon can also reduce fasting glucose levels that are regarded as an indicator of an imminent or existing diabetes disease.

After 40 days of cinnamon supplementation, fasting glucose levels were reduced by 18 to 29%, and this reduction was still measurable 20 days after the end of cinnamon supplementation. Interestingly, the reduction of fasting blood sugar levels does not seem to be dose-dependent. The reduction of fasting blood sugar levels of subjects taking 6 grams of cinnamon daily corresponded to the values ​​of subjects supplementing with only 1 gram of cinnamon per day.

The blood sugar reducing effects of cinnamon are based on several mutually independent mechanisms. When taken in combination with a meal, cinnamon can slow down the gastric emptying, which means that the carbohydrates contained in the food you eat are slowly released into the bloodstream in as glucose. In addition, cinnamon enhances the effect of insulin by improving insulin sensitivity. This improvement in insulin sensitivity results from an improved sensitivity of the insulin receptors to insulin caused by cinnamon. As a result a given amount of insulin exhibits a stronger effect and the body needs to release less insulin to achieve the desired effect.

In addition, cinnamon increases the expression of glucose transporter GLUT4, which is responsible for transporting glucose into the cells after an activation of the insulin receptors on the cell surface. More GLUT4 means that more glucose is transported from the bloodstream into the cells of your body, which decreases the blood sugar level. This effect also reduces the amount of insulin the body has to release after consuming carbohydrates.

As an additional bonus, cinnamon has numerous health-promoting properties, including a reduction of the levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol and a reduction of blood triglyceride levels.

Garcinia Cambogia Extract (Hydroxycitric Acid HCA)

The Garcinia Cambogia is a spice plant used for centuries in Southeast Asia. The active ingredient contained in the bark of this plant is hydroxycitric acid (HCA). HCA has been marketed as a supplement to support weight loss, as it blocks an enzyme that converts sugar into fat and can also reduce hunger.

Recent scientific studies indicate that hydroxycitric acid from Garcinia Cambogia extract also has positive effects on the blood sugar levels. Although the underlying physiological processes are not yet known in detail, studies have shown that the insulin levels after a carbohydrate-rich meal were lower in the group supplementing with Garcinia Cambogia than in the group that received only a placebo. Some scientists concluded that Garcinia Cambogia improves the utilization of glucose in the body, which results in a smaller increase of blood sugar levels and thus a weaker insulin response.

In addition to this, there is evidence that HCA could reduce the uptake and utilization of dietary carbohydrates by your body, which could be a further explanation for the observed lower insulin levels. Last but not least, many users of Garcinia Cambogia report a reduced desire for sweet, sugary foods and less sugar results in a better control of blood sugar levels.

Zinc

Zinc is an essential trace element that is involved in many body processes, including carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Zinc also plays an important role in the regulation of insulin release in response to food intake and can improve your insulin sensitivity. A lack of zinc therefore has many negative effects on blood sugar levels and the insulin release.

Since zinc is a component of the storage form of insulin, a lack of zinc results in a reduced storage of insulin in the pancreas. If less insulin is stored, the pancreas may not be able to release enough insulin into the bloodstream in response to rising blood sugar levels to sufficiently reduce your blood sugar levels. This canresult in elevated blood sugar levels. This situation is further exacerbated by the fact that a lack of zinc also reduces the insulin sensitivity of the cells of your body. This means that more insulin is needed to achieve the desired glucose-lowering effect – insulin that is not present due to a zinc deficiency.

In the Western world, a zinc deficiency is widespread due to an unhealthy diet, that includes too many highly processed foods. In diabetics this situation is exacerbated by the fact that their zinc excretion via urine is 2 to 10 times higher than in healthy humans.

A possible lack of zinc can be effectively prevented by a zinc supplementation. Supplements that contain zinc can improve your insulin sensitivity and promote a sufficient insulin release, resulting in more stable blood sugar levels. Scientific studies have shown that the remaining insulin production in diabetic patients was activated after several weeks of a zinc supplementation and this resulted in lower fasting blood sugar levels.

Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar supports the regulation of blood sugar levels and can prevent fluctuations in the blood sugar. Studies have shown that apple cider vinegar taken with a meal reduced the increase in blood sugar levels and insulin levels after a meal.

Particularly interesting for diabetics and people suffering from an insulin resistance is the fact that apple cider vinegar has a positive effect on the so-called long-term blood sugar value that is determined by the amount of saccharified haemoglobin molecules in the blood (HbA1c value). This value is an indicator of the average blood sugar level of the past weeks and a marker of the severity of the damaging effects of an increased blood sugar level on different body tissues. A regular intake of apple cider vinegar was able to significantly reduce this value during scientific studies.

Bitter melon extract

The bitter melon has been used in Asia for many centuries as a natural remedy and is among other things known for its blood sugar lowering effects. A number of different mechanisms are responsible for these well-documented blood sugar lowering effects.

Bitter melon extract contains an insulin-like polypeptide called polypeptide P, which is also referred to as plant insulin. Plant insulin can lower blood sugar levels and support the pancreas. There is also scientific evidence that bitter melon extract can regenerate the pancreas and thereby normalize and strengthen the body's insulin production. Some scientists suggest that active ingredients contained in bitter melon extract could also increase the number of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

In addition, bitter melon extract appears to improve insulin sensitivity, thereby increasing the effect of insulin. At the same time, bitter melon extract inhibits the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which breaks down starch to glucose in the intestines that can be used by the body. As a result of this your body will absorbs fewer carbohydrates from food, resulting in a less pronounced increase in blood sugar levels.

Current scientific studies have shown that bitter melon extract inhibits the activity of an enzyme called 11β-HSD that converts cortisone into active cortisol in adipose tissue. Cortisol is a stress hormone that can increase your blood sugar levels by releasing glucose into the bloodstream and that is also responsible for harmful fat deposits in the abdominal area. An over activity of 11β-HSD may cause elevated blood sugar levels and type 2 diabetes.

Olive leaf extract (Oleuropein)

Olive leaves contain a polyphenolic secoiridoid glycoside called oleuropein, which has antioxidant effects and other health promoting properties. In addition, oleuropein has impressive blood sugar lowering effects, based on several different mechanisms. Oleuropein slows down the enzymatic breakdown of starch into simple sugars in the intestines, which leads to a slower influx of carbohydrates into the bloodstream. This results in a lower and prolonged increase in blood sugar levels and lower insulin levels. In addition, oleuropein can improve your insulin sensitivity and this increases the uptake of blood sugar into the cells of your body.

Scientific studies have shown that olive leaf extract can increase insulin sensitivity by 15% and prevent an unwanted and harmful glycation. The term glycation describes a chemical reaction of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids with carbohydrates that can result in a destruction of different body tissues. In addition, olive leaf extract lowers the HbA1c value mentioned before.

Iodine

If the thyroid gland does not work properly and/or is over or underactive, this can severely affect blood sugar control. Iodine does not have a direct influence on blood sugar levels or insulin sensitivity, but a sufficient intake of iodine is crucial for a correct function of the thyroid gland, since iodine is an important component of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4. For this reason, diabetics and people who suffer from insulin resistance are often told to consume about 200 mcg of iodine daily in form of food and supplements.

Chromium

Chromium is an essential trace element that plays an important role in activating a number of important enzymes of the carbohydrate and fat metabolism. In addition, chromium increases the efficacy of insulin as it improves your insulin sensitivity. As result less insulin is needed to lower your blood sugar to healthy levels.

Due exaggerated promises about the fat loss effects of chromium, chromium supplements have gotten a bad reputation and are considered as being ineffective by many, since they do not seem to have any noticeable effect in healthy people who get enough chromium from food. But this ignores the facts that a lack of chromium is widespread in the western world, and that chromium levels can decrease as a result of severe physical exertion and the natural aging process. A deficiency of chromium can severely affect your blood sugar control and promote excessive blood sugar levels. In the long term this can lead to a development of type 2 diabetes. To avoid this, you should ensure a sufficient intake of chromium in form of food and supplements, which is especially important for athletes and people that are older than 40.

B vitamin complex (vitamin B1, B2, B6, B12)

Vitamins of the vitamin B complex are involved in the carbohydrate metabolism and therefore have direct and indirect effects on blood sugar control. The better and smoother your carbohydrate metabolism works, the better your body can use carbohydrates, which will have a positive effect on your blood sugar levels.

Vitamin B6 has also been shown to reduce the insulin requirement of the human body, while vitamin B1 has nerve-protective properties that can prevent nerve damage caused by persistent high blood sugar levels in diabetics.
